Oscar Selby, aged 7, became the youngest winner of a Manx Go event at
the recent Isle of Man Go Week. He won the 13x13 and also the
Rengo (doubles) with Matthew Cocke. Not much older was the winner
of the Lightning Tournament, Barney Shiu.

Matthew Cocke just missed out on a top spot, losing the
Open[1]
on tie-break to Alex Selby. Winning 4 out of 5 was another young
player, Danielle Ward. Toby Manning won the Afternoon[2]
tournament,
in which Peter Collins, Elinor Brooks and Kathleen Timmins also won 3 out of 3.
In the Handicap[3] the winner by tie-break was Peter Collins; also
on 4 out of 5 were Luke Humphreys, Barney Shiu and Roella Smith (also a junior).

The Sandcastle competition was won jointly by the Bexfield Castle and Selby-Regan Castle. Special awards went to Elinor Brooks and Francis Roads
for attending all 10 Isle of Man weeks.
